Set in the vast wilderness of Africa at the height of its exploration by intrepid explorers, missionaries and adventurers, Ticket to Ride Map Collection: Volume 3 – The Heart of Africa, a single-sided expansion map for Ticket to Ride or Ticket to Ride: Europe, focuses on the central and southern “heart” of the continent displayed in a vertical format.

I bought this for my wife so we could play TTR 4 player. This map just has a lot to be desired and it usually irritates people playing it. There's a lot of interesting ideas, but the color coding of the tracks just ends up getting in the way. Often, the game hits a point where everyone is just drawing cards trying to get enough of one color that now seems to be hard to find. While I like the additional score multiplier mechanic, it just confuses most people who are more intro-level gamers. This puts this game squarely at the 'doesn't really please anyone' category.

What makes the basic Ticket to Ride such a good gateway game is its simplicity: yet, by both introducing the terrain cards and overdoing the single tracks all over the map insomuch that it’s now impossible to change any plan you made on the fly in case something goes wrong, the Africa expansion makes playing it pointlessly harder and in doing so also strips the game of any hint of fun it still has.

Got this expansion for my birthday. Another layer of complexity with the Terrain cards which I have enjoyed.
